expanded tutoring, German Club, summer study abroad
by Devon Donohue-Bergeler
Hallo zusammen,
In response to feedback from students, we are now offering expanded tutoring options. Our Monday/Wednesday/Friday heritage speaker offerings currently remain the same, but we've updated an in-person location. In addition, you can now request Tuesday/Thursday tutoring from graders. Find details below and in the German tutoring module on Canvas.
The graders and tutors are reviving the German Club. If you're interested in joining and attending, meetings are Thursdays 2:30-3:30 on the Main Campus. A permanent meeting location is to be determined, so join the German Club GroupMe<https://groupme.com/join_group/90467044/tFIhb7qF> for up-to-date information.
I'll be offering the Dresden study abroad program again in summer 2024, probably in June. Details are forthcoming, but if you're a Pell Grant recipient applying for the Gilman Scholarship (due 10/5), you can use the information from 2023: Study abroad in Dresden.<https://studyabroad.utsa.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAng...>
Viele Grüße,
Dr. D
